Verse 1: Jesus, Thy head, once crown'd with thorns, Is crown'd with glory now; Heaven's royal diadem adorns The mighty Victor's brow. Verse 2: Thou glorious light of courts above, Joy of the saints below, To us still manifest Thy love, That we its depths may know. Verse 3: To us Thy cross with all its shame, With all its grace be giv'n; Though earth disowns Thy lowly name, God honors it in heav'n. Verse 4: Who suffer with Thee, Lord, today, Shall also with Thee reign: Then let it be our joy to pay The Price, this goal attain.
